U+FC6D "ﱭ" Arabic Ligature Beh with Noon Final Form Unicode Character

U+FC6D "ﱭ" Arabic Ligature Beh with Noon Final Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, designed to represent the combined visual shape of the Arabic letters Beh (ب) and Noon (ن) when they appear in the final position of a word. This ligature condenses the two distinct characters into a single glyph, streamlining cursive Arabic script for aesthetic or typographic convenience, though it is largely a legacy encoding intended for compatibility with older fonts and systems. Its usage is specific to contexts where traditional ligature forms are desired, rather than in standard modern Unicode text, which typically encodes Beh and Noon separately.
